@rosado91 @OleMissFB @CFBPlayoff You ever figure this out? We were trying to find this out too but hadn’t found it yet

[Graham Coffey @GrahamCoffeyDC]

Georgia won 29 straight games, lost by 3 on a bad call to Bama in the SEC title, got dropped from 1 to 6, and instead of bitching and moaning about refs and committees they went and laid a 63-3 beat down on FSU in a game where all of their healthy draftable players played

Look where UGA is now and tell me it didn’t matter. How you do anything is how you do everything. If your core program traits only matter when things go your way then they don’t actually matter. Notre Dame just told their players it’s okay to quit when things don’t go your way. I think it will have negative consequences on the immediate future of the program

[Josh Shelley @JoshShelley]

Look, I know not every program has Kirby leading them, but the 2023 Dawgs were reigning back-to-back national champs. They went 12-0 and lost to Bama by 3 in the SECCG. The committee dropped them from 1 to 6 and out of the 4 team playoffs. Guess what happened next? UGA 63 | FSU 3

[Josh Shelley @JoshShelley]

I get all saying that Bama shouldn’t be hurt by a SECCG loss, regardless of score. But if they were #15, a win would guarantee a berth. And, if they at #9 had beaten my Dawgs today, they would have been talking about how they deserved a #4 seed. Shouldn’t it work both ways?

WHATS THAT COMING DOWN THE TRACK? 🐶 🏈 🔴⚫️

[Graham Coffey @GrahamCoffeyDC]

People claim a 12-team CFP means more meaningful late season games, but that’s only true for 2-3 loss teams who probably won’t win a title anyways

2 years ago, Bama-UGA would be for a bid. OSU and IU would have no room for error. TxTech would be win or out.

How is this better?

SEC coaches to take their team to five straight SEC Championship Games

Kirby Smart (2021-2025)
Steve Spurrier (1992-1996)

Smart has now taken UGA to every SEC Championship since 2017 except for the 2020 Covid season

Smart is the first coach to make the game 8 out of 9 years

[Radi Nabulsi @RadiNabulsi]

Let's say it like this. Kirby Smart has coached for 10 seasons and made it to the SEC Championship 8 times

People are asking for my view on tariffs. Try this: https://t.co/IFuFfG1PRe

[Douglas Irwin @D_A_Irwin]

With tariffs, Trump said, “we can be so much wealthier than any country, it’s not even believable.” He got that last bit right.

This recent EconTalk episode on industrial policy with Scott Sumner explains why tariffs don't help the economy. Another episode just on tariffs coming in about a month. https://t.co/HtNSCepmwE

These bowl games should show that the playoff shouldn’t have 12 teams. Not that IU didn’t deserve to be in & that, for ex, USC did - none of those teams deserved to compete for a national title. Most years, there are 2-3 clearly great teams and 2-3 more teams that deserve a shot.

[Chris Fallica @chrisfallica]

Georgia pretty much had the most difficult conference schedule the SEC could have spat out of the generator - at Bama, at Texas, at Ole Miss, Tenn... and they still won the league.

#Vandy played this quote from Nick Saban after the upset over Alabama:

“The only place that’s not hard to play in the SEC is Vanderbilt.”

[Joey Davis @joeybdavis]

Ervin deserves this one

[Josh Shelley @JoshShelley]

@espn true but the Falcons probably won’t win the other 6 divisions that they’re not in…

[Josh Shelley @JoshShelley]

Imagine Bama hiring Butch Jones to replace Saban… I can’t stop laughing. 7500/1 would still be too high.
